Dor ,, from the  dorren,  dorrên, ‘to get dry, dry up’;   thorrôn,  *þaurzan. A of þorz-, which appears in ;   torrere, ‘to dry’ (torret is exactly  to  dorrêt,  *þaurzaiþ). Instead of the form *þaurzan, has gaþaursnan ( þorna), ‘to get dry, dry up,’ which is differently derived.  ,, ‘torsk,’ simply , formed from dorsch; corresponds to  þorskr,  torsk, tusk, from the   torsk.   ,, ‘cabbage-stump, cole-rape,’ with initial d, from  torse, ‘cabbage-stump,’  tursö, torso, ‘stalk’; for the change of s to sch. There is a parallel class ( torso,  tros, ‘stump, morsel’) which is undoubtedly of  origin. The word is probably  allied to the  θύρσος, ‘wand.’  ,, ‘there, in that place,’ from the  dort,  dorot, probably from darot;  *þaraþa (formed like dalaþa), would be the corresponding  in answer to the question where? The has darôt, ‘thither’; derived from,.  ,, ‘box,’ first occurs in , from dose,  doos ( daase).   ', ',, ‘marjoram,’ from doste, toste,  tosto, dosto, , ‘wild thyme.’ It may be really identical with  doste, toste, , ‘bunch, nosegay,’ so that ‘thyme’ would be a specialised meaning. The word was probably *þusta, ‘shrub.’ Further cognates to help in determining the root are wanting. .    (1.), and, ‘yolk,’ from the   toter,  totoro, tutar-ei; the  word seems to have a  initial sound. Corresponds to dŏdro,  dojer,  dydring, ‘yolk’; a pre- term for the ‘yolk of an egg’ (see also ). dott,, ‘point, spot,’ dot are, on account of  dott, dötte, ‘yellow part of the egg,’ to be derived from the same Aryan stem dhut; the  sense of  may lave been, therefore, ‘point in the egg.’ The  term yolk,  geolca, is  ‘yellow part,’ from  geolo,  to  yellow. In blóme, ‘yolk.’

 (2.),, from the  toter, , ‘gold-pleasure’;   doder,  dodder (‘toad-flax’);  dǫdder,   dǫdra. Perhaps allied to (1.), so that the plant was named from its colour (or from the similarity of its seeds to the yolk of an egg?).   , see.   ,, ‘prison,’ , from tafàs, ‘to seize, take prisoner.’   , (with a  d), ‘dragon, kite, termagant,’ from  trache, ( tracke). trahho ( traccho), ; the initial sound is to be regarded in the same way as in  (  and  drâke). The word was naturalised in Germany before the 8th ; as in the case of the bird, ‘griffin,’ the dragon as a fabulous beast furnished material for the imaginative faculty of the Germans, and supplanted the native mythological creations. The loan-word is equally old —  draca,  drake (in drake-fly or dragon-fly). The word is based on  draco (dracco), which again is derived from  δράκων, ‘dragon,’  ‘the sharp-sighted animal’ (from δέρκομαϊ). dragon, is of recent origin ( dragon). <section end="Drache" /> <section begin="Draht" /> ,, ‘wire, file,’ from the  and  drât, ;   draad,  þrœ̂d,  to  thread,  þráðr,  *þrêþs; a dental  of the  root þrê, ‘to turn, twist,’ which appears in. The pre- trê lies at the base of τρῆσις, ‘hole,’ which is identical in form with  ; for the meaning ,. <section end="Draht" /> <section begin="Drake" /> ,, see. <section end="Drake" /> ,, ‘tight, twisted, stalwart, active,’ simply , akin to drël,  þearle, , ‘firmly, strongly, very’; from ?. <section begin="Drang" /> ,, ‘crowd, throng, pressure,’ from dranc(g), , ‘throng, oppression.’   drang, ‘pressure, throng, desire,’  geþrang,  to  throng; from. <section end="Drang" /> <section begin="drängen" /> ,, ‘to press, pinch, dun,’ from dręngen, factitive of. is early ; is the , suffix, the older form of which is as isal,  isl,  and  -ls. formed from the same stem, but by a different gradation, an abstract þreihsl, ‘hardship, oppression.’ <section end="drängen" /> ', ', ‘outside, abroad,’ from, ;  drabe, from dar abe;  , from , , from.
